Talking Points:
- USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 0.8742 (Apr 11 low)
- Resistance:0.8802 (23.6% Fib ret.), 0.8839 (38.2% Fib ret.)
The US Dollar is attempting to launch a recovery against the Swiss Franc after prices found support above the 0.87 figure. Prices bounced to test initial resistance at 0.8802, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that aiming for the 38.2% level at 0.8839. Near-term support is at 0.8742, the April 11 low.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering a long position with prices sitting squarely at resistance. The absence of a defined bearish reversal signal likewise warns against taking up the short side. With that in mind, we will remain on the sidelines until an actionable trade setup presents itself.
